Learning to Read

We are trying to teach Andy to read and it has been a challenge. He doesn't want to learn. He likes watching movies, and loves for us to read to him, but doesn't want to read himself. So, I'm about to ban all movies until he learns to read. I don't believe this is an ability issue. The boy can memorize all kind of songs, and even will recite the Lord's Prayer, etc. So I know he has the ability. But he just doesn't have the desire.

Hopefully the desire will be there after we give him a tad bit of incentive!

The Many Messy Faces with Joey

Some boys just have a propensity to pour things on their head, or smear it on his head. The first is Red Velvet cake. The second one is some sort of linguini pesto sauce. I guess he thought it would taste good and smell good. And finally, the last one is after he got some baby powder to add to the pesto sauce. I'm hoping he grows out of this fascination with dumping things on his head very soon.
